How to make a website for an online course
Before paying for an online course, people want to see who teaches it, what the syllabus covers week by week, when the next batch starts and what a lesson feels like. A small website lays this out, links to your free YouTube lessons, and sends them to WhatsApp to enrol.

What people look for on an online course website
- What the course teaches, week by week or module by module
- Who it is for: beginners, working people, students in a certain class, or a certain exam
- How it runs: live classes on a video call, recorded lessons, or both, and on which days and times
- The next batch's start date, the batch size and the language you teach in
- The fee, and whether it can be paid in parts
- A few free lessons to watch before joining, on your YouTube channel
- The teacher's background and how students can ask doubts
The pages your website needs
- Home: The course in one line, who it suits, the next batch date and fee, and a WhatsApp button to enrol
- Syllabus: Modules or weeks with the topics in each, the number of live classes and the practice work students do
- Free lessons: Links to your demo lessons on YouTube with a line about what each one covers
- About the teacher: Your background, how long you have taught this subject and how doubts are answered
- Batches and fees: Upcoming batch dates, class timings, language, fee, the refund rule if you have one, and how to enrol on WhatsApp
Sample words for your home page
Spoken English online, in Hindi, for working people
A 12-week live course on video call, three evenings a week. Next batch starts on the 1st. Ask on WhatsApp to join.
Ritu Malhotra has taught spoken English from Indore for nine years, first in classrooms and now online. Classes are small so everyone speaks in every session, and doubts are answered in the batch's WhatsApp group. Watch a free lesson on YouTube before you decide.
Use these as a starting point and write them in your own words: AppCub can rewrite them for you in the chat.
How to make it with AppCub, step by step
- Decide the pages. Most online course websites need these pages: Home, Syllabus, Free lessons, About the teacher, Batches and fees.
- Describe it to AppCub. Paste the request below, with your own name, address, prices and timings.
- Check the plan. AppCub lists the pages and what goes on each. Ask for changes until it is right; seeing the plan is free.
- Add your details and photos. Replace every sample with your real details, attach your own photos, and check each page on the phone and computer preview.
- Publish and share. Choose your address (your-name.sites.appcub.ai), put the website live and share the link on WhatsApp.
Copy this request, change the details to match your online course, and paste it into AppCub:
Make a website for my online course, Bolo English with Ritu, run from Indore. A 12-week spoken English course taught in Hindi, live on video call, Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 8 PM to 9 PM. Batches of 15; next batch starts on the 1st of next month. Fee ₹3,500, can be paid in two parts. Pages: home, syllabus (12 weeks of topics), free lessons with links to my YouTube videos, about the teacher, batches and fees. Enrolment on WhatsApp at 98XXXXXXXX. Warm orange and white colours.
Tips for an online course website
- Link two or three of your own YouTube lessons on the free lessons page; people decide faster after watching you teach.
- Write the syllabus in plain topic names a beginner understands, not chapter codes.
- Say exactly what students get: number of live classes, recordings if you share them, and how doubts are answered.
- Don't promise jobs, marks or results. Describe what is taught and how much practice there is.
- If you have a refund rule, write it on the fees page in one or two clear sentences.
- Update the next batch date every time a batch fills, so the home page is never out of date.
What it costs
- Describing your website and seeing AppCub’s plan for it is free.
- Making it and changing it in chat uses credits for the work done: start with the 2-day trial for ₹99 (150 credits) or the one-time App Pack for ₹499 (200 credits, no autopay). Starter is ₹1,599 a month for 700 credits.
- Publishing is free for an account that has paid AppCub once, at your-name.sites.appcub.ai.
- Work that fails or is rolled back costs no credits.
Good to know
- The website can't take payments, host video lessons with protected playback, or give certificates; it shows the course and sends people to WhatsApp to enrol. For a student list, fees by batch and payment through your own Razorpay account, make an app.
- The pages are written in English. You can talk to AppCub in English, Hindi or Hinglish.
- A website has no forms, bookings, payments or logins: visitors reach you on WhatsApp, by phone or on Google Maps.
- Every page carries a small “Made with AppCub” badge and a “Report this site” link.
Questions
Can I sell my online course directly on the website?
No. The website has no payments or checkout; every page has a WhatsApp button so people ask to enrol, and you share payment details or an app link with them.
Can the website play my course videos?
It links to your videos on YouTube. AppCub doesn't host video lessons or protect recordings from being shared, so keep paid recordings on the platform you use today.
Should I show the fee on the course website?
Yes, with what it covers: the number of weeks and live classes. If you allow part payment, say so on the fees page.
Can one website list several courses?
Yes. With 4 to 6 pages, you can give each course a section on a courses page and keep the home page for the next batches.
Can students download notes from the website?
The website has no downloads or logins. Share notes in your batch's WhatsApp group or keep them in a course app.
Will people searching for my subject find this website?
The pages are made so Google can read them, with your course and teacher details in the format search engines use. Where they appear is Google's decision.
